We wanted them to just stop with the missiles/nuclear crap and we'd feed their people, they said okay, then launched their missile fail.
It is just us choosing not to pay to feed their people while they work on their weapons after breaking our deal.
Is it 'right', no, but I really don't think we should pay to heat and power the factories where people make bombs they intend to sell to our enemies. Further if their people are hungry maybe they are that much more likely to depose their leader/government or put pressure on their government to change some policies and you know feed them instead of working on missiles.
Again it isn't 'right' but how 'right' is it for us to feed their people while their country works on building missiles/bombs to prove their strength and/or use them on their neighbors or sell them to anyone willing to buy them?
The circumstances of the people of North Korea aren't our doing it is that of their governments.
